Westbound Interstate 80 is currently blocked between exit 83 and 96 (near Casey) due to an earlier crash where an oversize load struck a bridge.

Traffic is being routed around the blockage using the entrance and exit ramps at Casey.

Iowa Department of Transportation bridge inspectors will be onsite this morning to inspect the damage. The bridge will remain closed until that inspection is completed and the bridge is deemed safe.
